A live action version of either Gundam or Robotech will kick a***. You can use the CGI effects of Transformers and Iron Man for that type of movies.

Well, a year from now, Guillermo del Toro is bringing us Pacific Rim, an original giant-robots-vs.-giant-monsters movie which is an homage to kaiju cinema. So that might bear some similarities to a Gundam movie (although the posters suggest that the mecha -- and the kaiju -- are even huger than what we've generally seen in Japanese productions).

That was actually a 1970s series from Japan, Space Battleship Yamato, and it was made into a live-action film in Japan in 2010, as well as spawning four theatrical animated films and one TV movie over the decades. There's also currently an anime remake of the series airing in Japan -- apparently a very faithful and exact retelling of the story with modern animation techniques and designs.
I remember watching Battle of the Planets. Those Characters's uniforms were kinda "alternative lifestyle" if you can understand what i am saying.

Yes we can and no they weren't. Each of them took on a bird aspect when they transmuted: The Eagle, Falcon, Swan, Duck and Owl. Silverhawks is what the creators of Thundercats got when they combined Thundercats concepts with BoTP concepts. (Come on, fans of both, don't tell me you didn't notice...)
Battle of the Planets is one of three separate English-language adaptations of the Japanese Science Ninja Team Gatchaman franchise, though it added a lot of new footage to replace the censored violence of the original, and to reframe the Earthbound Gatchaman as a space series to capitalize on the popularity of Star Wars. The other two adaptations were more faithful dubs without new animation, and they were called G-Force: Guardians of Space and Saban's Eagle Riders. They all used different names for the same characters.
Yes, Chris, all well known information and none of which was necessary to counter the disparaging remark I was responding to.
I stand corrected.
Admiral2, I was not responding to you. I was responding to the original suggestion.

Funny enough, Samurai Pizza Cats is the only cartoon in this thread that I have heard of.
^ Well, if it has no discernible plot, it ought to fit in well with most of the movies in multi-plexes these days...
It had about as much plot as any other cartoon of those decades, with a few exceptions. Fixed set of good guys, fixed set of bad guys, bad guys hatch an evil scheme, good guys thwart it, comic relief does something cute, aaand episode!
That's pretty much the plot of most of the shows on the list.
